Hello,

I made this recipe yesterday for a Vegan lip balm:

2 ozs Hemp Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, or Almond Oil
1 oz Virgin Coconut Oil
1.2 ozs of Candelilla Wax
1/4 tsp. Rosemary Extract
few drops of Vitamin E Oil (Tocopherol)
few drops of essential or flavor oils or a combination. We used
tangerine essential oil, boysenberry and cranberry flavor oils.

Melt the candelilla wax in a pan over low heat. Once melted add the
remaining ingredients except for the flavor or essential oils. Heat through and transfer into a microwave container with a pour spout. Add the flavor and/or essential oil - stir well and pour immediately into lip balm tubes or containers. Use a pipette to top off the lip balm tubes. If mixture starts to solidify before you're finished pouring, heat for a few seconds in the microwave. Recipe makes about 5 ounces of lip balm.


except I made a half batch as I wanted to see how it would turn out. I didn't have the ROE so I left that out. It's way to hard and I left it covered in the glass measuring container before pouring into tubes. I wanted to make sort of a sheer lip shimmer and added a nice amount of coral mica. The problem is it's so hard that the colour doesn't come off at all. Now I found a recipe for a natural lipstick but it calls for Lanolin and it says that is needed to make the colour come off. I want to keep this vegan so I'm thinking of adding shea butter to it so soften it up a bit and maybe that will help the colour come off.

Any suggestions? I know Anne Marie has a great lipstick recipe that uses beeswax. Just wondering if I can save this recipe. I know already that there is too much Candelilla in the recipe.

Michelle

Candelilla is a hard and a brittle oil. You need some liquid oil like almond, or apricot kernel. I would not use the ROE, as I'm not sure it's lip safe, or safe for internal use.

soapbuddy,

I used almond oil as my choice of oil along with the virgin coconut creme. Maybe I should add more almond along with shea butter?

You need to add more liquid oil like almond. I would not add more butter or coconut creme. It takes up to 3 days for a product with candelilla to get it's final texture. So add more oil, a little at a time and keep good notes.

soapbuddy,

Thanks. I made this recipe a long time ago and didn't take notes so have no idea what I did last time. Now I take notes for everything I do.
